The group was formed during the Tall Ship’s festival in 2011 ans so began the ‘Jordan’s’ gathering of local musicians every Tuesday evening in the bar. The sessions have grown in popularity, attracting a wide variety of musicians and listeners. It was from these sessions that Jordan’s Rigout emerged. The group comprises a range of musicians from Waterford’s musical scene and members change on a regular basis. Performing in the hospital on the 30th May will be Robert Doherty (guitar, harmonica, and voice), Éadaoin Walsh (guitar, whistle, bodhran, and voice), Kevin Power (guitar, voice), Lorcan Reidy (banjo, guitar, whistle, voice) and Nick Banks (bass). The programme for the performance will be a mixture of covers and original root music, drawn heavily from American country blues and Irish traditional music.€Free
